Gigans







    Gigans, once Humans, drastically changed by biotechnology.  A Gigan is a human who has been infected with Terrestrial Energy Conversion Hormones, or the T.E.C.H. virus, manufactured by Geno-Dyne Tech.
When a Human is subjected to the T.E.C.H. virus his body begins a slow process of transmutation, when the virus reaches full maturation (1 month) the Humans body becomes covered in barely noticeable abrasions on the skin, they are a slightly darker color then the skin and are extremely painful.  If the Human learns to control the virus he gains the ability to transform his body into an incredibly powerful creature, with armored skin and biological weapons.

    The T.E.C.H. virus was created for biological warfare yes but the Gigans themselves were a mistake, most of the original test subjects were destroyed on the lab grounds, but some few escaped, and began spreading the virus.  Though there are very few they are powerful and dangerous.
They have no organization whatsoever and don't even like each others company.
But being around each other is much more preferable then the company of Kusans, the product of the successful experiment.
Gigans are constantly being hunted down by E.G.D. Eradication of Genetic Deviants, a force composed of specialty cyborgs and Kusans.
 
 

Nicknames: Bakemono (Monsters)

Character Creation: Gigans, hate their powers, they absolutely wish they could live normal lives, but other then that they soon realize they have no choice but to fight, or run.  Most Gigans try to get passage to Sheran or Kuso.  They all favor physical stats.

Appearance: They are so monstrous that when in the transformed state any creature with a lower Sento-Ryoko then them must roll Wits or be frozen in place for 1d10 amount of turns, the victim of delirium may dodge and defend but not attack..
They reach a height of at least 8 feet or taller, and are covered from head to toe in a strange bio-genic armor, that is as hard as solid steel.  They look slightely robotic due to a strange affect of the T.E.C.H. virus.

Starting Stats: 2 in Willpower, No Ability and 5 in Anger Points, they also must start with a derangement.  15 frrebie points to spend.  When Gigans transform they receive a +3 three in all physical traits.

Life Span:  50 years, After transformation.  That is another one of the unpleasant things about being a Gigan, after the first transformation their life span is greatly shortened, because they are hyper metabolic, this also causes them to eat allot of food.

Weakness: After each transformation a Gigan must eat twice his weight in food or he will lose a one in each stat until he does so.  Also if he transforms and has not eaten twice his weight in food then he must make a Berzerking roll Difficulty 8, if he fails then he will eat anything in sight, including other people.
